The General's Darling Is Delicate

"Nonsense!" He Xuanzhi walked over with his hands behind his back, looking indifferent, "Do you think it’s Immortal Water? Just applying it makes it work, needing us for such... herbs! How is that possible?!"

He leaned in for a closer look, and was utterly taken aback!

On the woman’s previously disfigured face, a scabbed scar had shed its brown crust, revealing the pink tender flesh beneath, showing faint signs of healing?!

Mind you, the wounds on her face were made with a dagger! Deep and wide, if not for his medicine, in this awful weather, the scab would have taken much longer to form.

But even if the scab falls off, no new flesh would grow, only leaving behind an unbearable scar.

This process is lengthy and torturous, the most grueling part for the injured, enduring not only physical pain but also emotional turmoil.

Especially since this woman’s wound was on her face.

A healer’s compassion is akin to a parent’s. Though he had his reasons for coming to Bianliao, seeing this woman in such dire straits, he earnestly wanted to stay and care for her for a while.

Of course, the silver was also important.

Where else could he find a fool willing to pay a hundred taels a day?

But this... was simply too magical!

He snatched the small porcelain bottle from the Little Princess’s hand and brought it to his nose to sniff.

There was a scent of Fragrance-seeking Grass, along with a few other herbs, and a faint bloody smell...

"May I ask, Princess, what is this potion made of?"

"Why are you asking my wife about my stuff?"

Yelyu Lie brought out this potion, precisely to spare his wife the trouble, yet this thick-skinned guy dared to ask.

At this moment, He Xuanzhi couldn’t discern the truth from the couple’s words; he just wanted to know how this miraculous potion came to be!

"Do you know how it’s made?"

Yelyu Lie slightly raised an eyebrow, his amber eyes slightly lowered, seeing the anxious expression on this Central Plains doctor, he indeed had a bit of a healer’s demeanor.

However...

Considering how he had sniffed the bottle earlier, with his medical skills, he must’ve identified a few of the herbs.

Except for the blood, he couldn’t guess what blood it was.

Yelyu Lie earnestly said, "About a few months ago, my Jifeng came out of the forest with a little fox, and we found its blood could rapidly heal wounds, so I took some and put it into the potion."

Such a fantastical claim, yet He Xuanzhi believed it without the slightest bit of doubt, "May I ask, where was the little fox found? Is it alive or dead now? Is there more of this potion?"

"From..." Yelyu Lie glanced at the small delicate one on the bed, "Found from the south, it has been eaten, and no one else possesses this potion but me. You shouldn’t think about getting it, just focus on treating, the silver will not be less for you."

"What? Eaten?! Yelyu Lie, are you out of your mind! Knowing its blood is extraordinary and you still let your Wolf King eat it?"

He Xuanzhi felt an urge to spit out blood at the words and was about to continue scolding, but he found the man’s hawk-like eyes fixed on his face, ice forming in his gaze.

"This matter, will not be known to a fourth person, hmm?" His lips curled slightly, his eyes filled with threat, "In seven days, it’s New Year, He Lang, just stay in Bianliao, do not leave."

"Otherwise, if this General has to find you, going to South City is quite troublesome, wouldn’t you say?"

He Xuanzhi was shocked, full of disbelief.

South City was his home, his real home! His parents lived there...

This barbarian... actually investigated him?!

He Xuanzhi felt a chill run down his spine, thankfully, he had been traveling for years...

He forced a look of bewilderment, angrily saying, "The barbarians of your Bianliao are truly terrifying! I’m just a doctor, merely asking about the medicine, do you intend to imprison me?"

"Doctor, that’s quite harsh to say, how could you call it imprisonment? My husband is merely asking you to stay over for the New Year."

The Little Princess also stood up from the bed, "This potion, is all used on Lian Qiao’s face, we know its efficacy. If her face doesn’t recover soon..."

"What are you saying, madam? How could Lian Qiao’s face not recover? Even the large scar on my body was healed, let alone a small injury, right, He Lang?"

This couple... singing in harmony, leaving He Xuanzhi utterly speechless!

Now, he wasn’t just forced to stay in Bianliao, he couldn’t even keep a little of the potion for analyzing its ingredients?

Devils! They’re truly a pair of devils! A perfect match!

"General! Madam! Something bad has happened!!!"

The three were confronting each other in Lian Qiao’s bedroom when they heard a woman’s panic-stricken voice from outside...
